How Does it Come to Market?
• Main focus is on existing HD services, and a few specific Ultra HD cases (PayTV markets)
• Linked to DVB-Sx extensions for satellite for efficient spectrum usage
• Spectrum allocation and DVB-T2 (ATSC 3.0) will define rollout for terrestrial services
• Expect to launch in late CY 14 for satellite (sports – 4k) early adopters. CY 16 and beyond for mass market and terrestrial
• 12 to 24 month refresh cycle on endpoints vs. 5 years for displays
• Reduced bitrates and/or provide better picture quality (spatial and/or temporal)
• Initially software decode until silicon is available and shipping (e.g. Snap Dragon 800)
• Main focus is on existing HD services
• Expect to launch CY14
• Low frame rates (24fps vs. 50/60), offline encoding, limited bandwidth requirements
• Main focus is on 1080p50/60 services and some Ultra HD
• Some services can operate in closed environments: optimized codecs exists
• Rely on existing CDNs for content distribution, limited changes required for VOD platforms
• Expect to launch in CY14
Mobile Satellite, Cable and Terrestrial
Traditional IPTV OTT/VOD Services OTT/VOD Services
• Leverage the (approx) 2:1 bandwidth savings to extend xDSL footprints
• Quality/bitrate tradeoff constrained by real-time encoders capabilities for live encoding
• Main focus is on existing HD services
• Expect to launch in mid CY 16 with ramp in 2017
• Some homegrown systems may launch earlier if not gated on middleware solutions

Business Priorities for MSO Data Business
Increase Revenue
Drive Operational Speed & Efficiency
Stay Ahead of Competition
• Deliver faster internet tiers every year
• 10X bandwidth growth over 5 years challenges space, power & TCO
• Shareholder/management pressure to keep budgets in line
Deliver More - with Less
• Business services – more complex & more demanding
• Consumers - Make customers lives simpler and richer
• Business agility & service velocity whilst reducing costs
Deliver more attractive services faster
• Speed – reduce provisioning intervals to hours or days – “devops for the network”
• “Cross-domain” management fast and error free for business services and more
• From managing configurations to managing services
Orchestrate, Automate, Simplify
Cisco Confidential 22 © 2013-2014 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.
Leverage Existing Cable Access Infrastructure
• 1Gb Services over uBR10k with 32 channel modems
- Broad, cost effective, rapid deployment feasible
• Converge VOD & Data
- Reduce rack space, power & cooling
Cisco Confidential 23 © 2013-2014 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.
Delivering CCAP with High Performance on cBR-8
• 10x the bandwidth of existing CMTS platforms
• Reduce hub space & power by up to 50%
• Ground-up design for DOCSIS 3.1 - Scaling to 10Gbps DS & 2Gbps US per Service Group
• Convergence of all Broadcast and Narrowcast services
Cisco Confidential 24 © 2013-2014 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.
Path to Virtualising CCAP – Phase 1
• Distributes DOCSIS PHY across hubs & nodes - CMTS is comprised of CMTS Core, PHY and multiple remote PHY
• Enables reducing CMTS Chassis by up to 75% - 4x the Service Groups of existing CMTS’s
- Reduce power & rack space by over 50%
• Delivers unprecedented scaling
Cisco Confidential 25 © 2013-2014 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.
Path to Virtualising CCAP – Phase 2
• vCCAP = vCCAP Cores + distributed Remote PHYs
- vCCAP Cores: agile, elastic and on-demand
- Remote PHY nodes scale DOCSIS bandwidth at the fiber node
• vCCAP scales subscribers and bandwidth without adding space and power in the hubs
• CCAP and vCCAP co-exists
- Operator chosen blend
Cisco Confidential 26 © 2013-2014 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.
Fiber Deep and Roadmap to FTTH
• Fiber deep architecture
- Reduces OpEx and multiplies capacity
• MetroE and WDM Backbone
- Superior capacity and cost vs. analog fiber
- Low cost backbone for all Metro services
• FTTH (PON) for selected customers
- Integrated on MetroE/WDM Backbone
• Blended DOCSIS and PON architecture
- Highest capacity and low cost
- Operator paced evolution

In Summary
• Disruption generates opportunity
• Several key transitions to plan for and execute on as Service Providers
• HEVC and UHD introduction
• Both from encoding, and CPE
• Gateway and STB evolution
• New broadband software environment
• Connected life
• Path to IP
• Cable Access Evolution
• These all come together as part of an overall IP-Video transition plan
Thank you.
Disruption isn’t over yet
